My truck got paroled from paint prison today - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I've been waiting since July to get my truck back from the painter and he finally finished up yesterday and I went and picked it up today. Been a long time coming and it looks great. I didn't give him the bed at this point because he just didn't have the capacity to do the whole truck all at once I'll bring him the bed in a few weeks when he can catch up on some of the smaller jobs.

I did a little custom emblem on the glove box door. I'm really happy with how that came out

Looks great! It's always a treat when you can start re-assembling after paint. That is the fun part.

Looks really nice - I'm with you on the prison thing, mine's been in since end of August. I went the opposite route though - bed first! just got it back last Friday.....

Arnulfo · 02-23-2021, 06:49 PM

What type paint did you men go with? Single stage,or base coat clear coat, urethane, acrylic enamel ? They both look GREAT !
